The Gumbo Boogie Band was first cooked up in the summer of 1995. The group started with a primary acoustic, jug band flavored sound. From the very beginning however, the band was strongly influenced by the music of South Louisiana. During the summer of 1996 the group released its first CD, No Electric Guitars. It received very respectable attention. They added a generous helping bass guitar, turned the drummer up a taste louder and made the hard drive of Zydeco style accordion, a more noticeable flavor. Soon the group began to refer to its sound as "Creole Style Rock-n-Roll", aptly describing a spicy blend of New Orleans Rhythm-n-Blues, Zydeco, Oldies & Classic Rock with a swamp water twist and the band's original material. They serve up this musical stew with a good time, street party, tent revival presentation that leaves audiences hungry for more. The band is known for its appeal to a wide cross section of age groups and musical tastes, and has been a hit with audiences at music festival, corporate events, food festivals, fund raisers, restaurants, art fairs, night clubs and honky tonks.
